The Brunswick News – Coastal trail plan under way in Camden

WOODBINE — Work is set to begin on improvements at the Woodbine section of the Georgia Coast Rail Trail.

Terry Landruth, Camden County chairman of the trail system that when complete will stretch from Riceboro to the Florida line, said renovations of an old movie theater in Woodbine will enhance the experience for visitors. Once work is completed, the old theater building will include public restrooms, a comfort station and additional parking for trail users.

Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay and the Seabees, Navy engineers, have volunteered to make improvements at the trail head so visitors see a defined path entrance.

There are also discussions about adding more trails in Camden County. Landruth said organizers are trying to generate support for a trail that would run from the Sugarmill tabby ruins near the Navy base to Crooked River State Park.

Landruth said he believes a trail to the state park, which attracts 80,000 visitors annually, would be popular among visitors and residents.

“We really want to promote the trail from the tabby ruins to Crooked River State Park,” he said. “It’s good because it promotes connectivity.”
